The etiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is unknown, aging being the strongest risk factor for brain degeneration.
The most promising therapeutic targets and strategies to delay the loss of dopaminergic neurons observed both in PD and aging are reviewed.
The latest types of drug delivery system (DDS)-based strategies for PD treatment are summarized.
The ongoing challenges for the discovery of new targets and the opportunities for DDS-based therapies discussed.
The emerging strategies summarized in the review show promise for better therapies for PD.
